This weekend I was given a container of Calyx to try. It's supposed to deal with rust, particularly in the engine bay. You apply it to rusty washers, nuts, etc., and supposedly it (a) hides?? or maybe (b) converts?? the rust. I have a couple of uses for it. Thought I'd try it on some rusty pipes out in the yard as an experiment. But wanted to see if any of you know about it. All contributions gratefully accepted.



P.S. Yes, I did use the search engine first!! :dance

You are by far my favorite new Autopian.:bow :bow



And its not just because I like British car either. The search engine is the best tool this community has and I'm so glad you're using it fully.



I wish I could help with the Calyx but this is the first time I've ever heard of it. I'll look in my current ish of Practical Classics to see if there's a stockist in Old Blighty that sells it.
 
Accumulator to the rescue again. (Wow! A guy who researches questions -- what a concept!) :bigups



Yep, that little black can is what I have. Some folks at the Indiana Jag show were swearing by it. And I do have rust on my manifolds, so I'm hoping this might be the solution. But of course I'll experiment first on some old rusty pipes.
 
OOOOOOooooooooeeeee guys!!!!!!!!! I finally got around to trying it yesterday. If you're into Concours/show cars and have any rusty nuts or other engine components, this stuff seems to be a miracle. I used it on exhaust manifolds, the alternator, and various nuts and bolts in the engine bay. My verdict is a big :bigups -- especially if you don't have the skills, knowledge, or expertise to remove, polish, and replace parts. I'll try to post pix soon. (By the time I finished playing with it last night, there was not enough light for photos.)
